Descent into madness

Lost my path in a drunken stagger

Thought with some poems, I got some swagger

Got countless reasons to live, to throw away the dagger

But the heart isn't satisfied, the mind is still a nagger

Isn't it madness??

To wish to throw up a perfectly reasonable life

To rebel against a perfectly reasonable world

And to run away to the woods, or to some bunker

To rot and die, like some ship that's sunken?


How do I go on

When there's nothing to be lost or won?

When whatever you do, death must always be borne?

My faith in the world is gone

My only wish in life is to be left a-lone

To descend into my madness and hide

To not have to work, just let my time bide

Until I am forever gone
